SUMMARY:Manoranjan Mohanty - Book Talk: "China’s Transformation: The Succ
 ess Story and the Success Trap"
DESCRIPTION:\n	Manoranjan Mohanty (Distinguished Professor\, Council for So
 cial Development\, New Delhi\; Honorary Fellow\, Institute of Chinese Stud
 ies\; Former Professor of Political Science\, University of Delhi)\n	Chair
 : Elizabeth Perry (Henry Rosovsky Professor of Government\, Harvard Unive
 rsity\; Director\, Harvard-Yenching Institute)\n\n	Co-sponsored with the F
 airbank Center for Chinese Studies\n\n\n	The book provides insights into t
 he economic and social transformation that China has undergone from 1979 t
 o the present. Based on the author’s research in China for over three d
 ecades\, China’s Transformation: The Success Story and the Success Trap
  shows how its ‘reform and open door’ policy evolved and helped achie
 ve tremendous economic success. However\, it also generated serious social
  and environmental problems. The book presents that the consequences of th
 is success story of growth are so strong that it has been difficult for Ch
 ina to change its main development path to achieve a desirable level of eq
 uity and sustainability. The author describes this as the ‘success trap
 ’ that China is currently grappling with. The author argues that China
 ’s reform path is grounded in the premises of the European Industrial Re
 volution backed by strong sociopolitical forces at home\, indicating that 
 a major change in the development path is unlikely. However\, all indicati
 ons point to a strong and prosperous China as a rising world power in the 
 coming decades\, trying to cope with the sociopolitical problems in its ow
 n way.\n\n	About the speaker: Manoranjan Mohanty is a renowned political
